SE&TRA AA rider M itch McR ee pi cked th e r ight l i n es
throug h the mud a nd slus h for
the ov erall win at th e 15 th
Annual Swamp Fo x End uro put on
by th e Family Riders Motorcycle C lu b.
H ea vy rai ns befo re th e event turned a
good co u rse into a surviva l run for
m ost o f th e 240 riders. Clu b o fficia ls
a pologized for th e a mou nt of water
o n the co urse a n d destruct ion to riders' mach ines: it certa in ly was n 't th eir
intention for so ma ny to DNF.
Mc Re e, w ho is sponsored by H & H
KT M, was I I points ahead of hi s
closest competitor, Michael Grizzle,
after naviga ting th ro ug h th e tight
trail and swa m ps. With milcsof mud
a nd wa ter in th e ea rly sectio ns, many
riders had little or no brak es bv th e
gas stop a nd wer e forced to ride th e
drier and fast er tra ils with panic from
turn to turn. Dod g in g scru b oaks
without brakes cert a in ly did add to
the exci teme nt of th e event. Those
lu cky riders who did not get st uck or
d ro wn out required a WFO rid ing
style for the majority of th e trails in
order to a void d isquali fication for
bei ng la te.
